From Booklist
In the waning days of the cold war, when Ronald Reagan challenged Mikhail Gorbachev to tear down that wall, when the AIDS virus was more rumor than scourge, and when disaffected youth the world over were searching for ways to either disappear or make a difference, a rebellious Australian youth jumps at his sister’s unexpected invitation to visit her in the Soviet Union. Fin promises Darcy she’ll provide the airfare if he agrees to surreptitiously transport a leather money belt through international customs. Despite Fin’s protest that everything is on the up-and-up, Darcy knows his sister has become involved in something nefarious—and quite frankly, it excites the hell out of him. Ignoring her warnings to maintain a low profile while in the country, Darcy embarks on a dangerous liaison with the son of a high-ranking government official. Vibrant with the discordant images of political repression and smoldering sexuality, Francis’ book ethereally transports readers to a preternatural time where nothing and no one are as they seem. --Carol Haggas
